Fixed in r7697, r7698, which change the behavior of scalars in many
functions using axis=xxx.

I don't think this breaks anyone's code -- using out-of-bounds values of
axis is almost certainly an error.

I left axis=-1 and axis=0 allowed, in addition to axis=None. These
seemed to be required by at least the masked arrays unit tests...
